See More +The development objective of the Second Integrated Sanitation and Sewerage Infrastructure Project (ISSIP II) for Egypt is to provide targeted populations in the Governorates of Sharkia with increased access to improved sanitation and sewerage services. Some of the negative impacts include: (i) air quality impacts; (ii) ambient noise impact; (iii) soil and groundwater quality imapcts; (iv) risks of uncontrolled disposal of non-hazardous solid wastes generated during construction; (v) risks of improper disposal of liquid wastes generated during construction; (vi) impacts related to Archaeology and cultural heritage; (vii) disturbance of traffic and access difficulty; and (viii) occupational health and Safety impacts. Some of the mitigation measures include: (i) implement preventive maintenance program for vehicles and equipment working on site and promptly repair vehicles with visible exhaust fume; (ii) training on how and when to use protective hearing equipment shall be conducted as part of the workers’ induction sessions; (iii) design and construct an impermeable protective base layer underlying areas with potential hazardous liquids storage or use; (iv) dispose of non-recycled wastes in the nearest landfill and the location of which needs to be confirmed at the beginning of the construction phase; (v) prior estimation of dewatered liquid volume during the digging works; (vi) Prior to construction works the project's construction plan should be presented to the Supreme Council for Antiquities, who shall identify project locations that require providing protection against possible damage to near antiquities; (vii) alternate access routes should be identified and communicated with the residents before starting or during construction; and (viii) workers should be trained to identify and evaluate fall hazards and be fully aware of how to control exposure to such risks as well as know how to use fall protection equipment properly.
